In a nice coincidence, we published a perspective on using long-term ecological datasets to study evolution just after @NSF announced a new post-doctoral fellowship for working on just these kinds of data (incl. @NEON_sci)! https://t.co/j7ScIW6Jn9 https://t.co/HSThLIEQmA

This was a huge collaborative effort that I was fortunate enough to be a part of. Also led by @MeghanAvolio and...

[Haoran Cai @Haoran_Cai]

Along with the symposium, we are excited to share our fresh perspective piece trying to touch upon this issue. We'd appreciate your thoughts on the piece – and don't forget to join our symposium session on Monday (4:15 PM, 516D) for a lively discussion! https://t.co/V4eY1i8ZlB

[Haoran Cai @Haoran_Cai]

Interested in the evolution of expression noise and how it affects gene retention following duplication? Come to my talk at 10:15 on Sat (516B)!!

This is part of the thematic symposium organized by Daniel Weinreich @DanWeinreich and Gonzalez Bravo Ignacio #Evol2024

[David Desmarais @Evodaveo]

Attending #Evol2024? Got a good plant biology story to tell? Come join @NewPhyt associate editors @PhloxELady and me to learn about publishing at New Phytologist in Palais d Congres 445B Saturday at 12:30. Journal swag and light fare provided!

[David Desmarais @Evodaveo]

Also see the nice commentary by Zheng Li on the same study! https://t.co/1qGwT9staa
